Ladies, Did you know these simple hygiene tips can help prevent vaginal infection?

1. It is best not wearing panties to bed ( unless of course you are in your period) because it will give the female genital room to breathe. This helps maintain its PH level and prevents fungi and odour. But if you don't want to sleep without your panties, best use boxers or pajamas. Change in the PH balance causes bacterial vaginosis(BV) thus bringing about an abnormal vaginal discharge.

2.It is best you wear cotton underwear. Wearing tight underwear or polyester panties lock in moisture and lead to vaginal yeast infection. So please keep down there aired out.

3.Always wipe from front to back after using the toilet. Don't reach from behind because germs from the rectum can be transferred to the hand and tissue. This helps avoid Urinary tract infection (UTI).

4. Do not douche. Let the vagina clean out itself. This is because douching can cause an overgrowth of harmful bacteria causing yeast infection or BV. For those who do not know what douching is, it is washing and cleaning out the inside of the vagina with water or other fluid mixtures.

5. Rinsing the outside of your vagina with warm water will not harm your vagina.
